speaker, tonight in this house chamber president obama will give his state of the union address to a joint session of congress. article 2, section 3 of the constitution requires that the president, whomever it may be, shall, from time to time, give to congress information on the state of the union. george washington, the first president, addressed the joint session of congress. but thomas jefferson and each succeeding president up until 1913, presented a written statement of the state of the union to the house and senate. so from 1801 until 1913 presidents submitted a written state of the union and on april 8, 1913, woodrow wilson like george washington addressed a joint session of congress, and that has been the manner of our state of the union by every president since, with the exception of herber hoover. so -- herbert hoover. so today i'm asking for another little change in the state of the union. i think that we should consider a requirement that the president on a day that coincides with the state of the union also have the federal government make a formal declaration of nationa
